It had a dual core atom, 2GB of RAM, 128 GB SSD (samsung I think) hard drive. There was an active stylus with a button or two, one for the right click functionality and a capacitive touchscreen. It had HDMI out, a USB port, SD card slot, a dock connector, some buttons at the top, front and rear facing cameras, and 1280 x 800 screen.

Honestly, I didn't do much with it as I didn't have but a few minutes. It seemed to function well enough. I looked at google maps through IE8. Multitouch worked but was sluggish. Overall, the touchscreen response I found sluggish with the fingers, and only slightly better using the stylus. (I'm comparing this to the iPhone 3GS, the only touchscreen device I have any extended experience with.)

I think I will wait for the Windows 8 tables. Just wanted to share my experience.
 
Its was that Atom that was doing it in. If you can, test out a Core i5 based tablet and you'll see a huge difference.
